Equipment selection in palm oil processing plants needs to comprehensively consider multiple factors such as production scale, process requirements, and raw material characteristics. The following is a detailed introduction by Huatai Oil Machinery:

1. Factors related to production scale

Processing capacity: Select equipment based on the planned daily or annual processing volume of palm fruits. For example, if the daily processing volume is 5 tons of palm fruits, the processing capacity of the palm oil press should match it to ensure the continuity of production.

Production requirements: Clarify the expected annual or daily output of palm oil to determine the production capacity of palm oil refining machine, filling equipment, etc., so that the equipment in each link can be adapted to each other in terms of output to avoid a certain link becoming a production bottleneck.

2. Process and technology factors

Production process: Different palm oil processing processes have different requirements for equipment. If the traditional physical pressing process is used, it is necessary to select suitable palm oil pressing equipment; if the palm oil extraction process is used, it is necessary to equip relevant equipment such as palm oil extractors.

Degree of automation: Consider whether to choose equipment with a high degree of automation. Although the initial investment is large, it can reduce labor costs, improve production efficiency and product quality stability.

3. Raw material characteristics factors

Fruit varieties: Different varieties of palm fruits have different characteristics such as oil content and pulp hardness. For varieties with high oil content, efficient palm oil pressing equipment or extraction equipment can be selected to increase the oil yield.

Impurity content: If there are many impurities in the palm fruit, it is necessary to strengthen the screening and cleaning process, and select equipment with high screening accuracy and good cleaning effect, such as vibrating screens, drum washers, etc., to ensure smooth subsequent processing.

4. Product quality factors

Purity requirements: If the product is positioned as high-purity, high-quality edible palm oil, high-precision palm oil refining equipment is required, such as equipment with advanced technologies such as multi-stage filtration and vacuum deodorization to remove impurities and odors.

Sanitary standards: The material of the equipment should meet food hygiene standards, such as using 304 stainless steel storage tanks and delivery pipelines to prevent oil from being contaminated and ensure product hygiene and safety.

5. Equipment performance factors

Reliability and stability: Choosing equipment with reliable quality and stable operation can reduce downtime and improve production efficiency. Equipment produced by Huatai is well-known brands with a good market reputation are usually more reliable and stable.

Difficulty of maintenance: The maintenance cost and difficulty of the equipment are also important considerations. Equipment with simple structure, easy disassembly and maintenance can reduce maintenance cost and maintenance time. For example, some equipment with modular design is easy to replace parts.

6. Investment cost factor

Procurement cost: The purchase price of the equipment directly affects the investment cost. It is necessary to compare the prices of equipment from different manufacturers and brands on the premise of meeting production needs and quality requirements, and select equipment with high cost performance.

Operating cost: Including energy consumption of equipment, replacement cost of wearing parts, manual operation cost, etc. If energy-saving motors and heating equipment are selected, long-term operating costs can be reduced.

7. Environmental protection and safety factors

Environmental protection requirements: Consider the wastewater and waste gas treatment capacity of the equipment, and select equipment with supporting environmental protection facilities or in compliance with environmental protection standards, such as high-efficiency oil-water separation devices and waste gas purification equipment to reduce pollution to the environment.

Safety performance: The palm oil equipment should have good safety protection devices, such as overload protection devices for palm oil press, grounding protection for electrical equipment, etc., to ensure the personal safety and production safety of operators.
